Ikpeyi: Nigerian girls are selling their eggs to survive. And nobody is talking about it.
Young women in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, university students, mostly are injecting fertility hormones and undergoing egg harvesting procedures to pay school fees and survive inflation. This is not rare anymore. It is a movement. Over 94% of egg donors in Nigeria are motivated purely by money. Not altruism. Not medical awareness. Money.
A donor receives ₦150k–₦350k. The clinic charges the recipient up to ₦7 million for the same cycle. A broker pockets the difference. The girl with overworked ovaries gets the smallest cut of a transaction built on her body.
Here is what nobody tells these girls before they sign: the procedure "overclock" your reproductive system. Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome can cause severe abdominal pain, kidney failure, blood clots. And some women are donating 5, 6, 7 times. The long-term fertility data for Nigerian women? It barely exists. Many are told the injections are "just vitamins." This industry runs on desperation. When poverty leaves a woman no real choice, her signature on a consent form is not truly free. That is not empowerment. That is coercion with a clipboard.
Nigeria has no National ART Act. No donor cap. No mandatory insurance. Clinics self-regulate. Enforcement outside Lagos is virtually zero. The "Sapa" economy is now harvesting biological material from our daughters and sisters, and calling it a side hustle.
Mothers, talk to your daughters. Policymakers, pass the ART Bill. Nigerians, let us have this conversation. Your body is not a gig economy.
Racoon: Those who collected the loans, debts and borrowings to mortgage Nigeria into this horrendous state of financial indebted are in the APC. They should be held accountable even in their graves. Wicked souls
Thank God sey me and my children no Dey owe. As two( twins)are born in the USA and one ( their older sister) is joining us this November
So make those wey owe pay. Nigeria no favor na why I japa in the first place so which debt I owe Tinubu?🤷🏾♂️❓
Lifeless101: No be all states get about 6 to 12 airports each for America?
No mind am I just reply am sey California alone get two international airports and each on big pass Lagos and Abuja put together. Yoruba adage sey if person never enter another person papa farm e go sey na em papa farm big pass
Babangidapikin: The problem is Nigerians we know how to persevere on nonsense.
My dear no one wants to be a sacrificial lamb or be sluttered. I was in Benin during the ends sars protest (2020) and saw how APC used Nigerians to unalive protesting Nigerian at ring road Benin city .
Guys used cars to ram into protesting citizens some got injured while several killed same thing happened in Abuja and some state. I no fit persevere for that kind thing. Besides, wetin Nigeria do for me aside sey dem born me there? 🤷🏾♂️ na now I fit beat chest buy the car of my choice. With $3k u can buy car of 100k miles with good body but in Nigeria who born to work and cough out that amount to buy car?
I reach here I see Asian people wey I never see for my life before ( aside Chinese) na then I know sey this country na better country.
I never meet a Mongolian,Cambodian Vietnamese people before. I jam one smallie from Japan last night who came to watch dodgers game without any one accompanying her to the USA. How many people fit do am come to Naija to come watch games ❓
Babangidapikin: Thank God he's alive ..., but on a serious note whatever you are going through always remember it will pass.
In that wicked society with a mean president? Things can’t get any better my if we still have someone like Tinubu in power. People say Americans don’t well like most Nigerians I will for free that that’s a very big lie. We may be getting things through credit but most basic things of life I can afford compared to when I was in Nigeria.
For instance, I bought a scooter 🛴 for $441 which include task and most Americans I told I much I bought it were so surprised to hear it was that cheap.
Bro that money covert am to Nigerian money and see if a struggling in Nigeria can buy that.
Where I fear Tinubu pass, was when he said he would reduce purchasing power as soon as he assumed office and he did it. Today a pack of noodle that was #70 is now #300 inflation going high everyday .
Watch this explosive moment caught on camera in the heart of Lagos traffic chaos! A frustrated commercial bus driver completely loses it during a confrontation with a LASMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) officer — allegedly over a traffic violation or extortion dispute.
The video shows the driver unleashing a barrage of punches and slaps on the uniformed officer right on a busy Lagos road. A brave bystander jumps in and delivers a sharp slap to the driver to break up the scuffle. The scene escalates quickly amid honking horns, shouting passengers, and stunned onlookers.
This raw footage highlights the daily tensions between Lagos drivers and traffic enforcers — from economic hardships to alleged harassment — that often boil over on the streets.
CYBERWEAVER: I am currently planning to get married. I’ve been with my babe for about a year now.
After several consultations, we agreed on a wedding budget of about 3 million Naira.
But I keep asking myself one very honest question: how do I commit that kind of money to someone who hasn’t really shown the same level of effort back, even in something as small as 5k, despite earning a little?
Asin, I never smell her 5k since we started dating.
At this point, it’s not even about the money anymore. It’s about intention, balance, and simple acts of kindness.
Even on my birthday, I didn’t receive a gift from her, and that stayed with me more than I expected.
I’ve never had to deliberately test her money, because genuine care and small acts of giving usually show themselves naturally over time.
To be clear, I’ve been carrying most of the financial weight in this relationship, and there’s hardly anything tangible she has ever done for herself without at least my 50% contribution since we met.
I don’t complain, but I also don’t want to ignore what I’m seeing.
As a responsible man, I’m trying to be honest with myself before I take a step I can’t easily undo.
So I want to ask people who are married or have real experience: if I go ahead and marry in a relationship where this is the current dynamic, what should I realistically expect in marriage?
I’m not trying to assume the worst, but I also believe experience speaks louder than hope.
My advice to you is look well before you leap. I use to be with a woman like until we both had a child out of wedlock but yet she still continues even when she knows my intentions. I was advice never to have a second child if I don’t want my life to be messed up. Moving forward I got tired of her gimmicks and gas lighting and end it all in 2020.
As it’s now I am happy with myself as I have found a woman who not only makes me happy she build with me as well.
EverydayTales: emm... sorry.. [coughs].. you say? 🤓 ... abi make the mothers even catch the fathers join 😂... but sha.. if you get evidence.. share abeg.. for the sake of new borns 😂
I use to have this cousin. Way back in the 90’s if his dad discovered defecation on his farm land and my cousin and his siblings are the suspects. He ( dad) will tell them all to be on a file( Queue) and match them towards the poop infested area, while I watched them the real culprit from behind. Whoever moved his head towards the part where the poop 💩 is will be fished out among them as being the culprit.

So fathers are born to suffer. They don't deserve to eat the fruits of their labours too?
Do you know that among the three top guys from Edo state only Ighalo’ parent is alive? So I quite understand why the guy made that comment about mother eating the fruit of her Labour.
